The Magic Diet Book

A glut of new diet books hit the shelves every year and we buy
them in our millions.

Every book is full of promises that this will be the only diet
book you’ll ever need, the answer to your prayers. But there you
are again, just a few weeks or months later buying another diet
book, hoping that this one has the true magic formula that will
help you lose weight and stay slim forever.

But actually there is no magic formula in any of those books,
there never will be. You are the only one that has the magic
formula – the desire, the determination and the ability to take
action.

Many of those diet books would work if you could bring yourself
to follow the “easy” food plans in them. Many of the exercise
programs would tone and slim your body if you could drag
yourself to the gym to do the routines or even get yourself out
of bed in the morning early enough for a toning session at home.

But that is so very hard to do. They ask too much, too suddenly
for ordinary mortals. We know in our heart of hearts that those
diets work, and that it is we who do not. But we continue to buy
the books because we are buying not just a book but hope when we
hand over our cash.

Instead of pretending that you have a will of iron and are
likely to turn your life upside down this time (despite evidence
to the contrary from the past goodness-know-how-many attempts)
why not just select any of the books you already have from your
shelves and work out what you can do to make a start towards
implementing the plan.

Success does not have to happen in a day. But making small
changes one after the other brings about huge success. It gives
you the chance to adapt bit by bit to a healthier lifestyle.

On the other hand, if the lifestyles in the books do not appeal
as a way of living forever then that’s another story. Diet books
generally offer a quick fix rather than an attractive way of
life (quick fixes are what give us the hope and sell the book
after all).

In that case, why not design your own healthier lifestyle – one
you’re prepared to live with forever and put that in place step
by step? Create your very own magic diet and exercise plan that
will work for you for life and keep you slim permanently.
